My kids managed to drag me away from my desk this weekend to go watch the new Inidana Jones Movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Although it’s well over a decade since the last Indiana film, my kids have seen the others on TV enough times that they’re big fans, but I admit I was wondering if Harrison Ford could still pull it off, as he’s not exactly a spring chicken anymore…

I shouldn’t have been worried!

The movie is classic Iniana and I enjoyed it just as much as the kids.

Harrison Fordis joined by Cate Blanchett as the “baddy”, as well as one of my favorite UK actors, Ray Winstone, John Hurt and up and coming Shia LaBeouf, so there’s an excellent cast who are also on top form.

There’s the typical “high octane” Inidana style actions scenes, which just keep coming, and, as in the prvious movies, there’s a constant flow of “one liners” and gags to keep you laughing as well.

The movie has already broken opening weekend records here in the UK, possibly helped by it being a typically wet british bank holiday weekend, but I can see this movie racking in a LOT of cash for Steven Spielberg, as it really is a quality movie with all round appeal to young and old, the perfect “family” movie..
